Happiness in the arts: a perfect festival for your 0-6 year olds

17 April, 2024 • Par Natacha Langlois

At Les Belles Combines, we believe in the importance of introducing our children to culture and the arts, from a very young age . Taking them on outings or activities in this area will not only allow them to develop their creativity and imagination, but also to encourage their openness to the world . It has also been shown that attending a concert or cultural activity stimulates the brain's neurons, in addition to facilitating the secretion of dopamine, the very hormone of pleasure ! Finally, taking part in a show or a group workshop allows children to develop their social skills, a valuable asset in all areas of their lives .

That's why we were charmed by the non-profit organization "Petits bonheurs", whose mission is to offer children aged 0 to 6 privileged access to professional-quality artistic activities, created for them by artists from here and elsewhere. The Petits bonheurs Network now has 16 members and 15 festivals across Quebec, and continues its mission to become an essential reference in the programming and dissemination of cultural activities for children aged 0 to 6.

Little joys Sherbrooke

In Sherbrooke, from April 27 to May 5, the “Festival Petits bonheurs” will be held : a festive, fun and poetic event during which families can register for a variety of workshops and shows offered at affordable prices, and this during the entire nine days of the festival. On the menu, for your budding artists, plays, storytelling hours, visual arts workshops (painting in the style of Pollock and puppet creation, among others) and more! Don't miss a rare opportunity to introduce your children to opera , by participating in the workshop “L'opéra dans la cabane”, a private concert offered by soprano Frédérique Drolet in an intimate and warm setting.

So take advantage of the opportunity to have a wonderful family outing and create wonderful memories, in addition to concretely promoting the cultural awareness of your little ones: a precious gift that will be useful to them throughout their lives!
